What's wrong with this var script?

[Gdark1]

Hey, I'm making a stat menu for my game, and I can't get it to stop subtracting "Available Points"

on (release) {
if (_root.availablepoints>0) {
_root.strength+=1
}
_root.availablepoints-=1
}

That's my script, and it'll stop adding to Strength once 'availablepoints' reaches 0, but it won't stop subtracting from availablepoints. Can someone help?

Because you've close the if statement before you've subtracted 1 from avaliablepoints.

on (release) {
if (_root.availablepoints>0) {
_root.strength+=1
_root.availablepoints-=1
}
}

Egad! I would never have thought to have two '}'s.

Lul.

Wait!
Then what's wrong with this?

on (release) {
if (_root.availablepoints>0) {
_root.availablepoints+=1
_root.strength-=1
}
}

if (_root.availablepoints>0) {
_root.availablepoints+=1;
_root.strength+=1;
}
}

lol you put _root.availablepoints+=1; insted of _root.availablepoints-=1; that means it will add. you got them backwards
